My electric runs more that 150 a month....but that's partly my choice. I run a but load of lighting, 1800 watts over 6 plants. but I do that becuase I grow High light loving Sativa..and add uvb lighting to maximize quality. I'm not looking for economic return (although, even with my high costs, I can achieve it)
I could grow "stuff that gets you high" or even top shelf Indica's for pain much less expensively. But I'm concentrating on meds for a specific medical condition (Parkinson's) and the chemicals that improve PD are thc/thcv, with thvc being the tricky part to produce.
Thcv requires Sativa genetics, high light and uvb. It's a little more tricky grow. Not necessarily harder, just requires providing proper genetics and conditions. it's also why I have samples tested...not for bragging rights, but to monitor results.
My 'overages" go to other patients with neurological disorders...at very reasonable prices. 175-200 an oz.
That's pretty fair for true Medical grade Sativa.
In the "weed" market what I grow would be considered "connoisseur" quality. Not saying it would win the cannabis cup...but it would compete.
